I urge you to dust off those old photo albums and listen to what I have to say: Charles Nelson Reilly was everywhere... and we never knew it Not only was he making more TV cameos than Rip Taylor and Nipsey Russell combined, but he was also busy photobombing polaroids and kodachromes across the country!
When I first spotted a CNR in an old photo, I assumed it was just someone who looked like him. But then, I started looking at my other photos a little closer.... and guess what I found? Charles Nelson Reilly was in picture after picture - weddings, parties, vacations and just plain candid shots. It didn't matter - CNR was always there.
There's only a few possible explanations for this, none of them completely plausible. (1) There was a legion of CNR clones scattered throughout the country, (2) CNR was stalking me, my family, and my friends, (3) Charles Nelson Reilly is a godlike entity.
Whatever the case, finding CNR looming in the background of all my photos was certainly creepy at first; but, after a while it became kind of fun trying to find him hidden somewhere in the image. But don't take my word for it - dig in to your own scrapbooks. But don't say I didn't warn you.
And if you have any old photos with a CNR sighting, please send them to me at 123rerun@gmail.com. I'd be interested to see them, and will include them in future posts with credit and a link to you.
